Trattoria ai Cugnai dal 1911

The food was just absolutely excellent! We started with musky octopus, tagliatelle with scallops and scampi, and spaghetti with cuttlefish ink. The quality of the pasta was so good, we highly recommend! The staff was friendly and quite fun too!

We ordered marinated mussels, spaghetti “Busera” with prawns and spicy tomato sauce and spaghetti with mix sea food. All of the food were very delicious, especially the sauces made them top level (we absolutely loved the sauce of the mussels and the spicy tomato sauce). Also, from the atmosphere to the staff everything was perfect and the prices were reasonable. Definitely a must visit restaurant in Venice.

We had such a superb lunch we went back for dinner! We got lucky and were able to get a table without waiting both times (we went early)! Sitting in the courtyard was lovely. Superb pastas. Excellent fritti misti. My son who doesn’t eat seafood ordered the green peppercorn steak and it was unexpectedly great.

The customers never stopped rolling into this restaurant. The restaurant opens at 6pm for dinner and it was already fully seated by the time we were there at 6:30pm. Best to book a reservation if you are going during high season. The calamari, squid ink, and seafood pasta were great based on portion, price and taste. The wine was good amount and price was reasonable as well. The owner is stoic but friendly. Staff was attentive. Overall, we recommend this place.

The best Italian restaurant I've tried throughout my Venice trip! I forgot to book a table so I waited for around 10-15 minutes. That was a Thursday evening, on Friday it was busier so I couldn't get a table. So if you want to be here you should make a reservation in advance. We had lasagna, salad, shrimp tagliatelle and tiramisu as dessert later on. Every dish is a solid 10 out of 10. Fresh tomatoes and shrimp, creamy cheesy lasagna, and the tiramisu was the perfect ending. We were so full. My friend forgot her bag but the waiter was really fast to call us back! Writing this review makes me miss Venice even more!

I can’t believe I forgot to write a review for this restaurant. It’s amazing. I really loved the foods. All of them were amazingly delicious. I would recommend all the above: the seafood spaghetti, gnocchi, sea bass fillet (I can’t remember what the other one was). Price was reasonable. Trust me! I would definitely come back if I visit Venice again.

Food was good and the price is very affordable as well. The shrimp one was flavourful, tomatoey, fresh. The cuttlefish pasta was amazing as well, although I would appreciate slightly more flavour with the sauce, the cuttlefish itself was so so fresh, cooked to perfection and generous portion as well. The only thing is that the bread is a bit stale and tough at the same time haha, out of the 2 breads they have us one was really really chewy, while the other was hard like a rock. Service is also slightly rushed and forgetful, had to asked 3 times to get the olive oil and salt. Other than that definitely recommend this place because it is cheap, good, and quick!

During my recent visit to this charming Italian restaurant, I had the pleasure of trying their prawn spaghetti with tomato sauce. The dish was nothing short of delightful! The prawns were perfectly cooked, and the tomato sauce was rich and flavorful, complementing the pasta beautifully. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving delicious Italian cuisine. It's a true gem!
